Let's Discuss Our Personal Heroes on JBC 6th Anniversary (Aug 20)

“As you get older it is harder to have heroes, but it is sort of necessary.” ― Ernest Hemingway

This month, our beloved book club will celebrate its 6th anniversary. Six years is a long time, from the conception of idea, 3-year of hiatus, until we were relaunched in November 2014 and growing stronger 'till today. Thanks to your support and commitment, Jakarta Book Club will strive to be bigger and better at listening to your feedback.

We want to celebrate this milestone with you, under a theme which voted by most of the participants last month. "My Personal Hero" is a man or woman who has inspired or shaped at least one of us to become a better version of ourselves.

Expect to hear review on books like "What I Talk
About When I Talk About Running" written by Haruki Murakami, "Steve
Jobs" biography written by Walter Isaacson, "Women and Money:
Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny" written by Suze Orman, "Andy
Noya: Kisah Hidupku" (Biography of Andy Noya) written by Robert Adhi
